Dr Katja Kramp studied Applied Biogeography at the University of Trier, where she also received her doctorate in 2014 under Prof. Dr T. Schmitt in the field of molecular biogeography with the topic "Comparative European phylogeography of mountain forest and peatland species using the example of two plant and two butterfly species". During her diploma thesis, dissertation and work on various other molecular studies with different genetic marker systems outside the scope of her dissertation, her knowledge of molecular techniques and their far-reaching applications was further expanded and deepened. Since June 2014 she worked as head of the molecular laboratory at the Senckenberg German Entomological Institute in Müncheberg.

Dr Kramp works on entomological questions in the field of molecular biogeography and phylogenetic systematics. Her current research focuses on studies of different Symphyta species (Hymenoptera).
